Job Description

OUR MISSION

Movement School is a growing network of free, public charter schools. We exist to love and value scholars and communities by leading a movement of excellence in education. In partnership with our families, we equip our scholars with the tools to close generational gaps through self-efficacy, access to world-class instruction, and financial education.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

A Focused, High-Impact Assignment for an Experienced Educator.

Movement South Fulton is seeking a certified teacher for a short-term, 2-week contract position to administer the Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (GKIDS) Readiness Check to Kindergarten scholars for the 2026–2027 school year.

The GKIDS Readiness Check is a Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) mandated beginning-of-year (BOY) screener that assesses entry-level readiness skills of incoming Kindergarteners across three domains: Foundations of School Success, English Language Arts, and Mathematics. This assessment is conducted one-on-one with each scholar and is observational and performance-based in nature.

Your sole focus will be administering the screener accurately, consistently, and efficiently — no lesson planning, grading, or classroom management required.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Administer the GKIDS Readiness Check one-on-one to incoming Kindergarten scholars during the designated beginning-of-year testing window

• Assess scholars across the three GKIDS domains: Foundations of School Success (approaches to learning, social-emotional, and motor skills), English Language Arts (early literacy and language skills), and Mathematics (numeracy, shapes, and counting)

• Record and document scholar responses accurately using the GaDOE-approved GKIDS platform and protocols

• Follow all standardized administration procedures as defined by the Georgia Department of Education

• Coordinate with the campus testing coordinator to maintain efficient scheduling and flow of scholars

• Handle all scholar assessment data with confidentiality in compliance with FERPA

• Detail-oriented and accurate in recording and documenting assessment results

• Familiar with early childhood development and Kindergarten-level skills

• Able to follow standardized testing protocols with consistency and care

• A clear communicator who works well within a school team

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Valid Georgia educator certification required

• Prior experience working with Kindergarten or early childhood-age students strongly preferred

• Familiarity with the GKIDS Readiness Check or similar early childhood assessments preferred — training will be provided

• Strong attention to detail and accurate record-keeping skills

• Successful completion of a background clearance is required

COMPENSATION & SCHEDULE

• Pay Rate: $40.00 per hour

• Employment Type: Part-Time, Short-Term Contract (approximately 2 weeks)

• Duration: Beginning of Year (BOY) testing window — 2026-2027 school year

• Schedule: School day hours, Monday through Friday during the testing window

• Location: Movement South Fulton, South Fulton, GA
